Has anyone here actually fallen for a honeypot trap? Share your story! or How effective are honeypot

Wow, these stories are gold—thanks for sharing!

Had no idea honeypot traps could get so messy if left unchecked.
Gonna try setting one up in a VM this weekend with T-Pot.

Quick Q: Anyone got tips for keeping them from becoming attack vectors? Like, should I just nuke the VM every few days?
